Pause Menu scaling issues --- Converting the script to work differently

Using the UNIFY Community’s pause script (works like a charm), I found a very hard thing to deal with: My menu options do not scale correctly.

What I have for my Game HUD scripts is:

// Our GUI is laid out for a 1920 x 1200 pixel display (16:10 aspect). The next line makes sure it rescales nicely to other resolutions.
	GUI.matrix = Matrix4x4.TRS (Vector3(0, 0, 0), Quaternion.identity, Vector3 (Screen.height / nativeVerticalResolution, Screen.height / nativeVerticalResolution, 1));

Which scales nicely (There’s also a width thing for drawing in the center), but the script that the UNIFY community gives me uses screen.Width and screen.height instead, which DOES NOT scale my font correctly, while scaleVerticalResolution does. Does anyone have this already done, or know of a way to convert all of the numbers in the original script to work with the gameHUD script (from Lerpz originally) using the nativeVerticalResolution variable?

So you don’t need to find the script:

I did make tweaks btw, but none that are really that important.

[SOLVED]

I put the script of the scaling update on Technicat’s thread about the script, A link to the thread is on my second post.

For those who don’t know what I mean (and to hopefully get a boost in help here… >.>) I have two screens as to what’s happening.


Small Screen, BIG MENU


BIG SCREEN, Small Menu

I need the menu to scale along with the screen. I need to do more than just adding the resizing matrix (seen at the top of the first post), which just makes the menu un-centered, and tiny. I’ve also posted the said problem towards Technicat in the thread here: http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/74127-UnifyCommunity-PauseMenu

Are you saying that the two methods of rescaling are interfering with each other? You can reset the GUI matrix back to its original value after you’ve finished drawing the elements you want to scale with it. Then, any subsequent elements will be drawn with the default scaling. This way, you can combine both scaling techniques in one OnGUI function.

Actually it more-so has something to do with the fact that the original script was made to support one screen size, and not multiple screen sizes, and thus doesn’t scale nor center correctly when using the Lerpz method (the Gui.Matrix), I was wondering if someone had already fixed the said problem and gotten it to work with the GUI.Matrix already.

It’s an awesome code, but it needs to be able to scale with the screen.

EDIT:
I have figured it out and sent the scaling ability updates to Technicat, See my second post for the link to the thread to the script.
